It was a Pavilion 15-ab188ca. And no I can't test, computer has been permanently retired (stripped down and parted out) when the battery charge circuit failed and could no longer properly detect a fully charged battery (don't want or need my mom using a fire hazard). -- You received this bug

I looked at the release notes and it appears amdgpu-pro only supports discrete/dedicated graphics. I don't see any APU GPU based core listed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu in Ubuntu.

Oh, BTW, to be ry clear - I didn't provide (or do) any work on this experimental (always consider it experimental) kernel - just the link to it. I only found it through a Phoronix article and used it to test. Thank M-bab for his hard work. :-) -- You received this bug notification because you

I just checked on Phoronix, AMD's DC stack has not been accepted for kernel 4.13 - so very unlikely to make it into Ubuntu 17.10. Maybe AMD steps on it they get it into kernel 4.14 at the earliest. The basic (overly simplistic) problem is how it's coded and would make it a total nightmare for

Whoa, hold up - it *may not* be. The kernel main line developers have rejected the code for various reasons. Untill it's acepted mainline, it's not a part of the kernel. Read the readme on the github site. AMD has to make changes to DC (formerly known as DAL) to be accepted. So anyone using

I was lucky and was able to pawn the computer off to another family member with Windows installed (and I got myself an i3 based Dell that works fine). That said, I had the computer back a month ago (to clean out the heat sink and remove a virus - natch) and looked into it with an external USB

I'm sure it will - the kernel in every release receives periodic updates. But 4.6 is only a "candidate release" - a technical preview if you will while bugs and such are fully baked out of the pie for final release. You'll see one of the 4.5 kernels first - hopefully with a fix, but it's also

Actually looking at my nVidia equipped system, the nVidia packages installed on it, and my AMD system and the AMD packages installed on it right now... Thinking about it, shouldn't the AMD driver depend on ocl- icd-libopencl1 package? Should the AMD pacakge be broken up into seperate packages
